20. "Choose Life!"
The Movie: Trainspotting (1996)
The Opener: The film that set the sagging British film industry alight doesn't just get off to a running start, but a running, shop-lifting, smack-shooting eruption: a rush of young, beautiful, heroin-soaked British talent set to Iggy Pop's pounding 'Lust For Life' and that searingly nihilist voice-over.
19. Jacking In...
The Movie: The Matrix (1999)
The Opener: The burbling green-screen electronics and back-alley noir intrigue, but it's Trinity's graceful time-and-gravity-defying kick to the chops that makes us sit up and really pay attention...
"Holy gods, how did she do that? In leather? And, more to the point, will she do it again?" Masses of action freaks, computer geeks and moody metalheads are instantly hooked. Shame about the sequels.
18. Dead Before You Know It
The Movie: The Sixth Sense (1999)
The Opener: Wait! What's Bruce Willis doing opposite a gruesomely emaciated Donnie Wahlberg? He acting! Which, as much as the Hitchockian sense of anxiety (furrowed brows, economical but intelligent camerawork, a screaming pretty lady) is what's so unusual about the blistering home-invasion opener to M. Night Shyamalan's twisty chiller.
17. New York I Love You
The Movie: Manhattan (1979)
The Opener: A swaggering, witty and outrageous love-letter voiceover from Woody Allen to the city he idolises ("Behind his black-rimmed glasses was the coiled sexual power of a jungle cat...")
The film stirs to life with the teasing, rising strain of Gershwin's 'Rhapsody In Blue', with Woody's intro chatter propelling a quick-cut tour of the sights via knowingly arty, intellectualised black and white photography.
It's a gleaming great tribute to the busiest city on Earth, Allen's ardour rising to a triumphant crescendo of romping music and blossoming fireworks reflected in the Hudson.
16. Instant Hit
The Movie: Narc (2002)
The Opener: READYSETGO an unrecognisable Jason Patric stumbles out of a crack den after an unnamed perp, vaulting fences in a frosty Detroit project.
The urgent handheld camera tumbles over chainlink fences, past screaming witnesses and finally to a playground, where a little girl is turned into a human shield and Patric's stray bullet catches her pregnant mother, shockingly, in the stomach.I NEED HELP!'. Dirty, brutal and brilliant.
15. Midnight Feast
The Movie: Jaws (1975)
The Opener: We don't get to see the shark – Spielberg saves that for much later – but Jaws' bloody beach-party skinny-dip tells you everything you need to know about the film's unique tone of popular horror within seconds...
The water doesn't belong to us any more, and if you hear that music, you're already dead.
14. Earning It
The Movie: The Departed (2006)
The Opener: "No-one gives it to you. You have to take it..." So says Jack Nicholson's verging-on-pantomine mobster Frank Costello. And after 30 years of not winning an Oscar for Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and others, Martin Scorsese was probably thinking something similar.
And he did take it, with a gripping crime remake that doesn't touch his best work – except for those first five minutes, when the sublimely sinister Nicholson voices his intro over the Stones' Gimme Shelter.
Check out the image/lyric timing, it's sublime - and the decade-spanning fast-forward narrative recalls the director's masterful best.
13. Ass You Like It
The Movie: Lost In Translation (2003)
The Opener: Well, no - not gratuitous. The lingering shot of Scarlett Johansson's dipping, curving, resting body in semi-translucent pants and t-shirt sums up the woozy, adrift, early-dawn alienation of Sofia Coppola's film in a single, barely moving image.
12. Starting An Evolution
The Movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
The Opener: An astonishingly accomplished and ambitious few minutes of cinema, both meticulous and grandstanding.
First, darkness and chanting, then the glorious choreography of the stars, and finally pre-sentient man, scrapping over bones (each ape a professional dancer trained for weeks), the monolith as brave, impenetrable metaphor for a spark of thought, then man's first tool becoming his latest – from bone to satellite. Dizzying.
11. Rolling start
The Movie: Quantum Of Solace (2008)
The Opener: No 'previously…' or refresher course here. New Bond simply demands you keep up, blasting straight back into the complex end-of-play anger from Casino Royale. At 90 mph. In an Aston Martin. With a hostage in the back.
The tear-up chase sequence probably owes much to Bourne - the series you now can't discuss Bond without mentioning, the yin to 007's yang. But in terms of kicking ass and taking names, it beats the hell out of a misty-eyed flashback.
10. Back On Track
The Movie: Touch Of Evil (1958)
The Opener:
What Orson Welles could have done to secure the admiration of Hollywood is a question for the ages. He gave them Citizen Kane (1941) and The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), and they still ran him out of town.
He returned years later, though, with Touch Of Evil and one of the most intricate and flamboyant single-take opening sequences ever filmed... and they chopped the movie to pieces.
Moving from close-up to overhead crane, from dialogue to tracking shot, it had everything - just like Welles, And it's a miniature masterpiece.
9. Cold Calling
The Movie: Scream (1996)
The Opener: Knowing, assured and keyed right in to its intended irony-junkie audience, Scream's pre-credit moider is like a mini feature of its own.
It has is own star (mid-comeback Drew Barrymore), a tight, chilling story, and a really mean ending which tees up the gleeful slashing to come.
8. The Spying Game
The Movie: The Conversation (1973)
The Opener: Taking a break between Godfathers, Francis Ford Coppola delivers the '70s paranoid thriller to end all '70s paranoid thrillers - with a theme relevant to our current CCTV-dominated times.
Starting with a conversation - a couple strolling through San Francisco's Union Park, and a slow electronic zoom to find them - the camera feels, post-Kennedy, post-King, like a sniper sight.
As the film unfolds, the words being recorded do have a killing power. The rest is an object lesson in cold, calculating construction - of watching and listening, and why every word we say could have fatal consequences.
7. Leaving Home
The Movie: 28 Weeks Later (2007)
The Opener: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's infection sequel has an absolutely thumping start, even if it can't keep pace with Danny Boyle's original over the long haul.
It's all about the raw realities of survival, and watching it feels like being thrown into a bath of cold water – not just because Robert Carlyle is forced to flee his terrified, incredulous wife, but because that pained split-second look on his face convinces us all that we'd do the same.
6. Under The White Picket Fence
The Movie: Blue Velvet (1986)
The Opener: Having overstepped his bounds with Dune (1984), David Lynch retreated to home ground with a dual vision of Smalltown, USA. Lush green lawns and slow-motion smiles give an eerie sheen to his too-perfect vision of suburban America.
It's at once idyllic and revolting, Lynch's camera probing beneath the surface as waving firemen and roses give way to clicking bugs, heart attacks... and an ear.
5. Rock Star
The Movie: Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981)
The Opener: Timeless, peerless, iconic.
It's all about Indy's humanity – he sets off traps, smiles with triumph, sags with relief, is betrayed twice and runs away from a massive rock with the same frantic fear the audience is feeling. And all, somehow, in under ten minutes.
4. "What doesn't kill you..."
The Movie: The Dark Knight (2008)
The Opener: Our introduction to The Joker reflects The Joker - mean and smart and sharp and always one step ahead.
A bank job, masks all round, and the crew are offing themselves one by one, like a row of falling dominoes.
Then, Joker's first magic trick (the arrival of the bus) followed quickly by his second (removing his mask to reveal… another mask).
It's tight and gripping and expertly put together, but like the film itself it's also bursting with typically Chris Nolan-esque ideas (identity, the power of misdirection) to back up the streamlined style. Watch here .
3. Prepare For Boarding...
The Movie: Star Wars: Episode IV (1977)
The Opener: Past the Freudian Star Destroyer and the endlessly discussed gravity of that opening shot, the magic of Star Wars' beginning is that it's a bloody mess.
You don't know who's who, you can't understand what those robots are on about, and the talk of diplomatic missions goes way over your head.
But it doesn't matter at all, because the basic mechanics of George Lucas's pulpy space Western are so immediate and graspable.
This is beyond story. This is blockbuster.
2. Hitting The Beach
The Movie: Saving Private Ryan (1998)
The Opener: Spielberg's pummelling Ohama Beach landing drew a line under all existing war movies and simply said, "Let's start again"...
It a shocking. thunderous onslaught of reality, a blast of freezing, dizzying, delirious noise, of zipping rifle rounds and cheap, meaningless death.
The film may later collapse into a self-justifying moral stupor, but in these desperate few minutes there's no story, there are no characters - just men and a moment in history which was recreated more urgently and significantly than ever before.
1. "As far back as I can remember..."
The Movie: Goodfellas (1990)
The Opener: Like the gangsters Martin Scorsese's blistering film portrays, Goodfellas' opening is funny, charming and, most of all, full of fast-moving menace (even the credits zoom by, suggesting the holding-onto of hats is required).
There are savage laughs to be had from the hellish roadside murder, and an irresistible rush to the surging 'remember when' of Henry Hill's teenage years...
How did it come to this? How did that hunger for glamour and status end up in dead-of-night knifing and burial?
As ever with Scorsese, behind the sheen of respect, there's always danger... As star Ray Liotta clunks shut the trunk and a trumpet blares, there's that shocking crash-zoom - as though Scorsese's camera is rushing him - and you - in a bar fight: BAM, BAM, BAM!

DH and I decided to try the Atkins diet, what with all the updated good reviews. After the 3rd day of "Induction," I went to the library to get an overview. What I found in Atkins' Diet Revolution book was a list of prescription meds that "might hinder or prevent weight loss." Each of us takes at least two meds in the list!
So I took the book home to show DH, and we're back to the drawing board w/ a low-calorie regimen. What I need is a website with a comprehensive list of all foods and their calories. Thanks in advance, chery2 |

I don't know why you dumped the Atkins program. It is true that certain meds cause weight gain but going on a low calorie diet is not going to change that. You'll still be fighting the effects of the meds. If you Google you get all sorts of sites listing food calories. None of them are going to list ALL foods and most do not differentiate between brands of prepared items like breads. While you're at it Google for listing of calories in restaurant entrees so you can make the right choice when you dine out. |
While this is a great idea of checking on Google and planning your restaurant choices prior to leaving your home are great ideas. I recently read an article that about different types of diets. It actually mentioned about using a low carb diet, but not totally cutting out on all of your food for calorie count. Also here is a new diet plan that I found online, I have not tried it, but it reads like it will work out really well for anyone. I am pondering taking it on myself, but do not know yet. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Have not tried it, but read on it.
Check out Sparkspeople.com - it's totally free with a ton of tools, menu ideas, support...or inspiration. |

Makes about 36 potato bites
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons matzo meal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 small onion
- 1 1/4 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold
Preheat oven to 400°F and grease 36 1 3/4- by 1-inch muffin cups (see note, above).
In a large bowl whisk together eggs, oil, matzo meal, salt, and baking powder. Grate onion on large holes of a 4-sided grater and whisk into egg mixture.

Sell the Laggards? Maybe, Maybe Not
It's OK to admit it: The stock market's been on a tear, but your money's been in a "clunker" fund that doesn't seem to know a stock from a stink bomb.
Thanks to good times on Wall Street, these clunkers can seem rather rare these days, but it's not unusual to face a tough decision: whether to sell a laggard fund or give it just one more year.
The key, analysts say, is a systematic look at your portfolio. That means not selling a fund out of anger over a bad quarter, or holding one because of emotional attachment, despite persistent underperformance.
Selling is often easier said than done, says mutual-fund expert Sheldon Jacobs, who publishes the No-Load Fund Investor, a newsletter in Irvington-on-Hudson, N.Y. People get attached to their holdings or just don't know when to pull the trigger on a poorly managed fund.
But the decision to sell can be almost as important as the decision to buy. That's because, over time, small differences in your rate of return can turn into big differences in the value of your account.
Fund experts say it's time to sell a fund when:
* It repeatedly lags behind its peers.
* Its manager has left, and the new manager can't seem to duplicate his predecessor's success.
* It has switched to an investment style that no longer makes sense for you. Example: when a "mid-cap" fund, investing in mid-size companies, becomes a large-cap fund, and you already own a large-cap fund.
* It is in a sector that has dropped out of favor for a substantial period of time. Example: gold funds.

Gear Review
Great Fit, could do better on lenses
This goggle has a great fit on my face. I have a hard time rocking the EG 2 as it is overly huge and I don't like the fit. I have a medium sized face and normally use the Smith Phenom. The lenses are a bit of a concern to me. I have a Blue, Clear and stock Bronze lens. All three of these have frozen on my during extremely cold days at 15 degree or colder. The Blue and Clear lens completely turned to ice inside and out and I was forced to ride down the hill without any goggle on. If you are riding in a warmer temp I would suggest these goggles, but if you are riding in colder temps, you might want to check out something else.

How to Pack for Three Types of Bike Trips
Tools for a bicycle day trip differ from the equipment needed on an epic ride. Itinerant cyclist Michael Verner, who just completed a ride from Oregon to New Mexico, shares three gear tips for three bike trips.
By Michael Verner


text: When steeping for 60 seconds, I get about four steepings in small cups and am able to minimize the unpleasant tannins. Still, it retains a hint of astringency, which makes me wary of increasing the steeping time. Nevertheless, I do also steep this tea for 2 minutes for a full mug without it becoming bitter and astringent. The flavour and colour are light, similar to green tea, but without grassiness and with characteristic Darjeeling tartness.

Blizzard maps out BlizzCon {WoW}
Aug 18th 2009 12:27PM Oh, oh I want to start a math war!!! So if you have three equal rooms (parts)...like blizzcon last year...and you add a fourth room that is the same size as the other three...guess what? That is a 33% increase not a 25% increase. But I am open to belittlement if I am incorrect and Mike is correct. You can tease me at Blizzcon, I will be there asking Ozzy if he is going to re-roll a worgen/goblin race.

How To: Lower Your 2nd Generation (2005+) Toyota Tacoma 5-Lug
Here I'm going to list parts available to drop your truck. Some parts have advantages and disadvantages over others, and some of these may be matters of opinion; so therefore I have chosen not to include mine in the original post. Please, if you are looking to drop your truck, use this as a guide but research a little on your own about other member's reviews as well as my own about these products. I will be happy to answer your questions in the subsequent posts about my opinion if you so wish to. And remember, I am in no way responsible for what you do to your truck. Kden.
Things to Remember:
1. When upping the spring rate, it would be wise to upgrade the front struts. The OEM Tokicos tend to not handle a stiff spring very well, and will wear out very fast. Currently, to my knowledge, the only suitable replacement are OEM Bilstien shocks designed for the XRunner. All other aftermarket front strut replacements are for a lifted or stock application.
2. 6 Lug trucks (4x4 & PreRunners) have a completely different front suspension setup. Nothing to my knowledge is interchangeable.
OEM XRunner Springs (Nominal Drop)
Will fit and stiffen up the front end and improve handling.
XII Drop Springs (1.25"-1.75") http://www.xiiperformance.com/?page_id=1007
These drop springs were designed for the XRunner in mind, but can be used with all 5 lug trucks. Very high spring rate; ride will be firmer. The drop also depends on the weight of your truck. (aka XRunners w/ the heavy V6 will get closer to 1.75" than a regular cab, with lighter I4 and less weight in general)
SOS/Tundra Racing Spring Perch (1.5") http://tundraracing.com/xrunnerdropkit.htm
Lowers the perch on the strut, dropping the truck. Primarily used by XRunners, but should work on all 5 lug trucks. Same concept as a coilover sleeve, but non adjustable.
C2C (or custom brand) Spindle Spacer
Metal spacer and extended bolt between the balljoint and spindle.
DJM Upper and Lower Control Arms (3") http://djmsuspension.com/application...toyota-tacoma/
Replaces the upper and lower control arms with powdercoated aftermarket, greasable units with polyurethane bushings. Utilizes stock ball joints, which need to be pressed in, and are not included with the kit.

Ukraine being heavily dependent on Russia for its requirement of gas and oil cannot come out of shadow economy easily. Though the government of Ukraine is attempting to come out of Russia's influence with various fiscal and customs procedures, it is a difficult exercise as nearly 75% of Ukraine's requirement of oil and gas is met by Russia. In spite of the political tensions, Ukraine has been able to maintain a buoyant economy because of the high price it demands for its steel in the global market.
Economic activities of Ukraine
Coal, iron ore, manganese, magnesium, mercury, nickel, titanium, graphite, kaolin and sulfur are the natural resources of Ukraine. Food grain, sugar beets, vegetables and sunflower seeds are the major agricultural products. Dairy products and beef processing are other important agriculture based activities. Mining is a major primary economic activity in Ukraine. Agriculture accounts for approximately 9% of GDP and provides employment to nearly 25% of occupied labor force.

What's Cookin'
One more puff pastry recipe for you this week— after all, who doesn't like candied bacon wrapped around pastry stuffed with cheese?!
By the way, these work perfectly well and are great without the bacon if you've got some non-meat eaters in your house. Complete step 4 in the recipe, then twist each piece of pastry individually and lay on a baking sheet (no need for a rack if there's no bacon involved).
Do not roll in the sugar mixture. Just brush the twists lighlty with egg on the outside and you can sprinkle with a little more parmesan or coarse salt or just leave them plain and bake. They should take about 15 minutes.
By the way, a little shout out to Literacy North Halton. I was at their "Great Groan-Up Spelling Bee" a couple of weeks ago. It is their main fundraiser and wow, what a well-organized, super fun event! (I thought I was a good speller until I got there).
If you like to spell and a good laugh, you should definitely check out this event for next year. I believe it's been going on for about 11 years (not sure what rock I've been under that I never knew about it before), but better late than never!
Enjoy the long weekend!
Have fun and keep cooking!
Sweet and Savoury Bacon-Wrapped Puff Pastry Straws
Makes 30
• 1 box President's Choice Butter Puff Pastry (thaw in fridge overnight)
• 1 egg, beaten
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 15 strips thinly sliced bacon (cut in half lengthwise)
• ½ cup brown sugar
•1 tbsp dried thyme
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Spray the wire rack with non-stick spray.
2. Open the sheet of pastry and brush the surface lightly with some of the beaten egg. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
3. Lay the second sheet of puff pastry on top and press gently around the edges.
4. Cut the pastry into 15 long strips, then cut those in half, to yield a total of 30 strips.
5. Take a piece of bacon and wrap it around the pastry. Then twist and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry and bacon until everything has been used.
6. Mix the brown sugar, thyme and pepper together. Now take each pastry twist and dip through the brown sugar mix, using your hands to coat all over the twist. Place each twist back on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining twists.
7. Bake the twists for about 20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.

I gave this a try last night after reading that article and have run into very few issues with certain sites. Wish I knew this from the first day. For more tips and tricks check out this thread in the forums!
Dieter just told us about Crackberry Kevin's uber-frustrating experiences trying to pit the iPhone 3G and Blackberry Bold head to head in the browser war to end all browser wars. But -- silver lining -- for iPhone users, not only did we snag bragging rights, but a handy tip as well!
Here's how:
From the iPhone home screen, tap Settings. Scroll down and tap the Safari button. Under Security, slide Javascript to Off.
There you go, you've just switched to light, clean HTML and CSS mode (still technically "just the internet" -- unless you're in the UK...). In Crackberry.com's tests, it made a big difference on some sites. Let us know how it works for you!
(Thanks to Crackberry Kevin!)

In this example we will see how we can make use of the unary operator. In java we have been provided the unary operators so we should know how to make use of those operators. Unary operators are:
++expr, --expr, +expr, -expr, ~, !
Description of program:
In this section we will know how to make use of the unary operators in java. First all of, we have to define a class "UnaryOperation" . Inside this class we have defined one class variable. We are making one overloaded main method which takes one integer type argument. Define one method operate() of type int where we are going to use the various unary operators. At last inside the main method call the method operate() so that the result can be displayed to the user. The output will be displayed on the screen by using the println() method of the System class.
Here is the code of this program

It's been much too long, hasn't it? I'm such a pokey writer and I'm always working on several projects and then new ones pop up. *whew* Anyways, here's another snippet for Lily and Julian.

I'm brushing off the dust and poking my head in here. I can't believe it's been over a year since I posted here. What started off as yet another pen name project ended up being an incredible experience that opened up many doors for me–including landing me on the USA Today and New York Times lists on two different projects.
But I never did forget or stop loving my CDC stories, WIPs and especially Devil's Descent. Continue reading
Hello Everyone! You haven't seen or heard from me in a bit, have you? I've been neck deep in projects, graduation, writing, gardening, and all that good stuff. Our family came to visit to see my oldest son's graduation. (Which took place a month ago today in fact.) I still can't believe my baby is out of school, especially because I'm coming up on it being 20 years since I graduated. (Class of 1994.)
I worked like a fiend these past few months, enough so that I dropped some pounds before they crept back this last month. (Been writing like mad on a project and not doing a lot of moving around.) Anyways, I wanted to show you all how my Spring went. It's pretty photo-intensive so I'll be posting another part soon. Continue reading

50 Shades has inspired a whole slew of serials, novels, and shorts all surrounding dominant billionaires. I absolutely wanted to try my hand at it, but with a scifi twist. Hence the direct title: The Alien Billionaire's Pet. Continue reading
Hello, Everyone! As I mentioned in my last post, I've been working on a bazillion house projects and writing projects. When I'm not playing with Julian & Lily from DDIII as Claudia, I'm dipping my mental pen in several different universes. Continue reading

We gathered our favorite shots into this book. There are some things we didn't get (sorry Brian's parents and groomsmen!) but we can't change that now. Oh well!
In any case, we hope you like it!

Kruger Blues...
I am not a poet, but this is how I feel: When I am there - all sorrow disappears, the past does not exist. I forget who I am, what I was and why I was like that. There is no anger, no hurt, no tears or even a memory of anything that should not have been... There is only now and the wonderful unpredictable next. When I am there - My soul laughs, my blood bubbles, my heart celebrates and my eyes are filled with life. I am in heaven... |

I know why the caged bird sings.
I know why the caged bird sings becuase simply i am the caged bird who sings away every morning and every night. What is my song. This is what i sing. This is the nice life but that still doesn't put my heart to rest. For my heart lies in the bush beating away to the sounds of Impala barking, the sounds of lions gorging. My heart to beating to the rythym of the bush. It's pinning to be present in that joyful land once again. I am an empty shell when i have been taken away from my place of refuge. I need the bush soon. I know why the caged bird sings. Thankx. Timbo. |

Dear God,
right now I am very sad. I am trying not to hear the cry, the cry of the dying. I do not want to hear the smothered buffalo, so strong, so brave. I do not want to hear the cry of the impala. I do not want to be filled with it's beauty, being led to sacrifice. I do not want to feel their fear. I do not want to taste metal on my tongue. I do not want to feel my heart beat beat and break against my rib cage. Why is it, dear God, that what releases my tears, fills my desire. I do not understand. When I look at such pain, I know, I could only trust a God who knew the raw taste of metal, the taste of fear, of fear and of pain. |
Special love for animals. |

For Pardus...
The moment in time stood still, As our eyes met, You, I am... I am you. Are we one? Golden-brown, soft and furry slender and agile, Where have we met? Where shall we go? I know, we met in my thoughts. A flick of a tail, the twitch of a whisker, The softness of a stare, But, beware, I am cunning I am sly, I growl, I purr... I love the dark, the night is my partner, my companion! My footprint, my voice, you know. I take life, warm, red and alive, my grip is strong, I am a survivor! Life as I see it from my resting place the branches of a tree, perhaps? I reach high, I jump far, I will always find a way, my way Playfulness, kindness and a sense of ruthlessness, perhaps? When I look at you... I see you, Our love affair is old, yet timeless, Soil, earth, bush, tree, rain, wind and sun..... Dappled colours, gold, brown, spots of black, Illusive, but always there...... We have met, Somewhere. Panthera pardus |
Look at that CAT! |

I asked Deebs to resurect this thread. I didn't even know such a thread existed, but I knew of the fantastic talent forum members had in their prose with the trip reports, their excellence in photography, and the very funny Limericks thread, to name a few.
so don't be shy folks. We'll try and keep it wildlife and Sanparks related...so here goes The Circle She had her kits the other day The pain intense soon went away Her eyes and ears alert for prey They'd live to hunt another day Her time was now 'neath golden sun Her time is done and his begun His struggle, life, it holds the key To all that he will ever be She walks on silent pads of four Through grasses tall and swaying And hears the haunting hungry call A zebra softly braying All hair and fluff and gangly legs He tries to see the pattern His mother's milk will save him now But no one else will have him Her ears are low she smells her dish Her flanks like iron, her tail a twitch Beneath the hot red African sun The grasses part the end begun Our zebra dies that faithful day A dreadful end tho some might say She fed a family and did her best To see the circle come to rest |

My Dream.
I close my eyes and there is a vision before me, one of hope, peace, tranquility and joy. It flashes through my mind but never leaves me, bringing a feeling of longing but yet embracement. I am dreaming of a place where I belong, a place which belongs within me, a place which seized my mind, which determines my thinking and changes who I am. I am thinking about vast open plains, with waves of elephant grass, the outstretched arms of a Baobab, grabbing at clouds in the sky. I see a stark rock face with caves and crevices, offering shelter to all who seek, the knotted fingers of a rock fig, reaching to waters below. I smell the fresh earth after rain, the scented flowers of wild gardenia, the mist of a waterfall, caressing the rocks by her side. I hear the gentle voice of elephant, the soft bray of a newborn impala lamb, the laughing of a lone hyena, the muted call of a buffalo with death in its voice. I feel the cool morning breeze gently touching my skin, the mighty roar of lion, quivering through my bones, the breath of Mama Africa, as her voice falls on my soul. I know that this is a place where crocodile can bask in the sun, where the jackal may call at night, where the lioness can stake her claim. I realize that this is not just a dream, it is not only a vision, it is an eternal heartbeat I feel, because Africa lives within me. |

Selati Train Bridge On Selati Bridge The red sunset's glow Sends crisscrossed shadows On the waters below As day turns to night The hot rails are cooling As day's last light fades The bush birds are cooing Beneath the old bridge The Sabi still flows Full moon like star shine Makes black waters glow The day is now done As days long ago Steel rusted in sun Ghost whistle will blow Marsh rocks and grasses Sweet smells will arise Sabi's breath blowing As Africa sighs |

Hey, a place for thoughts written in essence of emotion
Just a few days before ol' wildtuinman and the rest of the Duke Pack went and broke off Duke's left tusk (for a souvernier, I gather) we ran into the old (intact) iconic ellie and sat with him for about four hours. I told Lillian then that he looks well over his best and that we will probably not seen him like this again. As the events of the lost tusk unfolded I was saddened by the accuracy of my "prophecy". I wrote "Prayer for a tusker" as part of my trip report, so it will not be new to a lot of forumites, however, this thread is a grand place to "archive" my notes... The breeze is diverted by the draughts of your breath and the casual flapping of your ears starts the whirlwind. With the rumbling of your belly and your thrilling trumpet you fill the skies with the spreading sounds of triumph. Bugle the bold notes, let the wild harmony ascend across the vastness of the African savannah until, insidiously, the strains decay and melt away, in a dying, dying diminuendo. It is new that there are so few of you and my kind is the cause of your demise. In your innocence you leave no lasting signs in your wake. Your brushstroke on the canvas of time is compassionate. May we humans learn the sympathy in your vast shy heart. so that our passing too will leave only the kind mark of patience and compassion on this abode we share. Let death not be accorded any significance so that we, as old friends, can expect to continually meet each other again and again. Few of you are left and your loss will be felt, perversely by my kind who caused your demise. |

How about a song then?
If anyone would like to add verses, please feel free...subject to my approval of course. Kruger * sung to the tune of "Calypso" by John Denver* The sunlight is fading, the camp fires glowing. This is the end of a glorious day. We tell of our sightings, encounters and stories. We leave nothing out lest they all fade away. Hail to park Kruger, we sing to your spirit The things that you've shown us, you've shown us so well. Hail to park Kruger, your legend continues In memories you give us, in stories we'll tell. We travel the dirt roads, we travel the tar roads. Your family so many, you've hidden so well. We feel the adventure, the honor and glory. We glimpse of your treasures, through grass in the veldt. Hail to park Kruger, we sing to your spirit The things that you've shown us, you've shown us so well. Hail to park Kruger, your legend continues In memories you give us, in stories we'll tell. |

I drove through Kruger & what once brought warmth to my heart
and a smile to my face, now brings sorrow to my heart and tears rolling down my face. I cry for you my elephants. I find myself driving past, not stopping to watch you I can not bear the pain thinking I might never see you again. I cry for you my elephants. I failed you, I am part of a new generation, suppose to be advanced, advanced in failure. |

Something for all of us to think about,WH.
When I think of the plight of the elephants...or any of the animals really... I think of how small our world is getting and how much space we humans really take up. And when I think of Africa I can't help thinking that the circle of life is so relevant in the wild, it is the unspoken rule. One must die so others will live. some of my thoughts reflect this. Untitled The hot sun beats down, turns the grasses to gold. Heat from the earth causing visions to fold. With a flick of her tail, her location is told. You gaze with her gaze to the wonders foretold. With the aid of false eyes, you see her intent. The big cat approaches, heat's vision is bent. Her age is apparent, her life nearly spent. Mother Africa is calling, from where she was sent. |

On the night the old ellie died
they called the herd there to his side He told them tales of long ago when no one told them where to go When wire wasn't strung up in fences to keep them in and shock their senses The bushveld came to pay respects they knew his death they must accept He's been gone for many long years his tales still told through misty tears |

Well, I hate to hog the space but thought this might be timely. I hope you all think so to...
Lord Lion Long, long ago in a veldt upon the great plane there was a very wise and old beast. His flowing mane was thick with age and colored with the silver of wisdom…and he was sad. He roamed the vastness of the veldt and all in his path were in awe. His power and might were legend, and his foes were few, and yet…he was sad. One day when the sun was laying down for her much needed sleep, and the night was beginning to wake, the Mother came to the beast and asked "Why are you so sad Lord Lion, for I have made you king of all the beasts in your world?" And Lord Lion looked up to the Mother and said, "Mother. You have made me strong so I may defeat my enemies. You have given me eyes that see in the night and strength to hunt and kill and eat. Wherever I go your creatures bow to me, but none will lay down with me." At this Lord Lion looked up to the night's shining light and with a mighty roar let loose a single great tear. The Mother seeing this felt sadness for Lord Lion and swept up that single tear and flung it to the heavens saying, "Let this tear be a star and this day be a symbol that no man, nor beast, may be sad this night." At this the clouded sky did clear and all the stars in the heavens did shine down upon the veldt. Long grasses turned golden and all manner of beasts arrived to join Lord Lion, in love and with no fear, and all were in awe of the Mother who gives all life. And together with all the beasts Lord Lion felt his heart soften and knew this special time would come again, one special night when all would be safe, and could lie down together. Tonight, look up to the heavens. Gather your loved ones near and think of Lord Lion, a star, and a tear. |

I hate posting after myself...but in the interest of bumping this thread up so mites can see it, I thought a little inspiration might be in order so...
How many great gems were lost to thought and not put down to pen. You can but think of just a few and then they're lost again. |

Anyone else unhappy with Disney's 'value suites' layout?
I have looked at Value suites options For my family of 6, but there never seems to be an option where you get even 2 real beds. Or where the sleeping is separatable by something like a screen or drape.
Seems like Disney is only geared toward families with small children. Those accomodations that do exist are not even ideally planned for convenience for any family. Even in suites at AoA for example children are meant to sleep in areas that an adult might like to stay in while the child naps (living area or kitchen table area) or when the child goes to bed early. Why doesn't Disney provide sleeping arrangements so that the adult can have real beds for larger/older children (15-17). A curtain to separate beds for adults from older children would also be useful here or even in a regular resort bedroom. It seems like extended or older families have to get 2 rooms, and that would be fine but Disney will not guarantee connecting rooms!! So, if you need more than 2 rooms in an open regular hotel room, you are stuck with a 2 bedroom villa and even then getting 4 beds isn't always included, You could end up with 3 beds and a pullout sofa. Also, if you want privacy &/or have an easily disturbed little one, the regular hotel rooms won't work for you. Why aren't there any reasonably priced options for families that want/need sleeping arrangements with multiple beds? It has been done before that the kids bed is walled off or at least has a movable curtain to screen one sleeping area from another. Even in moderates there is a privacy curtain to close off the sink area. Why not even a curtain to separate the beds? So frustrated with the shortage of options for our family! Hoping for connecting rooms!! |

I think you are right about the need for a different configuration for some rooms at WDW.
However, I also think there is a solution and that is staying offsite. There are plenty of options that are much less expensive and fit the needs of all types of families out there. We used to only stay onsite. My kids are pretty much grown now (college age) and we still do on occasion, but have found that a 'timeshare' unit works really well for us and gives us the resort atmosphere we want on vacation while giving us plenty of sleep space (and more). |

Family Accomodations
We have had good luck at the Sheraton Vistana Villages...the remodeled two bedroom suites are very nice with a full kitchen and baths for both bedrooms.
The living area has plenty of room with a nice closet for luggage, etc. The 2 bdrm worked well for party of 6...4 adults and two children - one of which was in a P&P. It is not a bad drive to the parks, the pools are great and the grounds are really nice. I thought the prices were very reasonable.... $149/nite for a September stay...have gotten it as low as $139. |

Fulbright scholars as professors give students an educational edge Wednesday, May 30, 2012
Fort Lewis College Associate Professor of Economics Robert Sonora is spending part of his summer working in Croatia thanks to the Fulbright International Exchange Program. It's a win-win-win for the people of Croatia, Sonora, and for the future FLC students that find themselves in one of Sonora's classes.
To earn a Fulbright scholarship is one of the highest academic honors that a faculty member or student can achieve. Only the best of the best are chosen. The experiences and knowledge gained by living and working beyond the borders of the United States through the program can be life-changing, and not just for the Fulbright participants themselves.
FLC Geology students dominate awards for undergraduate research Monday, May 14, 2012
Research proposals by Fort Lewis College Geosciences students earned four of the five grants for undergraduate research awarded by the Rocky Mountain Section of the Geological Society of America in April.
U.S. Senator Udall offers Commencement Address at Fort Lewis College Sunday, April 29, 2012
For 450 Fort Lewis College students, one chapter of their lives culminated and a new one began at FLC's Spring Commencement on April 28. The newest Fort Lewis alumni walk away with degrees in the arts, humanities, social sciences, natural and behavioral sciences, and business.
The Commencement Address was offered by U.S. Senator Mark Udall. Appropriate to the beautiful scenery that surrounds Fort Lewis College, Sen. Udall called upon his past experiences as an outdoorsman to encourage the new graduates to seek out adventure and to not shy away from taking risks.
New Faculty Award: Dr. Justin McBrayer Monday, April 23, 2012
In Dr. Justin McBrayer's mind, professors should not profess. They should question. By that he means professors should be active participants in learning by guiding discussion and debate around a topic. Students and professors should learn together.
New Faculty Award: Dr. Erik Juergensmeyer Monday, April 23, 2012
Ask Dr. Erik Juergensmeyer what he finds most rewarding about teaching at Fort Lewis College and he sums his answer up in one word: "everything." Dig into just what makes teaching so rewarding for him and he explains how he has seen what he teaches change the way his students look at the world and how they communicate with others. A big part of his teaching philosophy involves training his students in the art of rhetoric.
